Preparing a Meal for My Friends

One is on a no carb, no sugar diet;
One cannot have anything artificially sweet;
One is strictly vegan,
And one will NOT eat red meat.

One is allergic to shellfish;
White wine makes one sneeze;
Red wine gives one headaches;
Preservatives are banished. Puh-leeze!

Chocolate causes migraines;
Baked beans give them gas;
Raw onions cause indigestion;
And caffeine is forbidden. Alas!

Given all the limitations,
I think I’ll just make reservations.

I wrote this poem after preparing a meal for my wonderful work colleagues. Let's face it, we are all getting a little more high maintenance as we get older.

I really like your blog!! I am not very familiar with them, but the variety you put up is fun to go through. Congrats on your golf wins! Try a little darker in the center of the yellow lily, and yes - I went to a Mexican restaurant last night and am still not in bed - and I have to get up in 3 hours to go to school. I will have to work until I am 69 in order to fully vest my teacher's retirement. I think that it is sad. Years ago I had planned to retire by the time I was 65. Oh well. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
